Setting Up Your Machine as a Relay Unit

In this section we will show you how to set up and manage a relay network with the standard relay features provided in your machine.

Before you set up your machine to relay documents sent to you from the originator fax machine, confirm the following points:

Make sure your machine’s fax/telephone number is correctly registered. (See “Registering This Machine’s Fax Number,” on p. 1-13.)

Make sure the fax/telephone number of the originator fax machine is registered on your machine under a speed dialing key.

After your machine receives a document from the originator, it relays the document to one or several destination units. Make sure the fax/telephone numbers of all the destination units are registered on your machine under speed dialing keys.

Ask the originator if they would like to receive a report of successful transmissions after your machine relays the document.

Make sure the relay feature on your machine is turned ‘ON’.

Be sure to contact the originator, and inform the originator unit of the subaddress and password of your machine.

Follow the procedure in this section to set up your machine as the relay unit. If your machine is the relay unit, it receives the document from the originator, and relays it to several other destinations.
